CONCERNING SHIPS OF WAR.

Failures OF FOreiGners-But Few Men
Who Can Build n Good War Vessels
r.Gath" in Cincinnati Enquirerl
Ibad a talk with Mr.. Cramp, the Phila-
delphia ship-builder, during the week.
said 1: Mr.. CramP what do you think
about the great ships Of war now afioat In
the worlit'
sWhy, thers is hardly ons single success
ful vessel among them all. Inc
Italians have two Of the greatest
and latest in the world. IL IS gen.
orally believed that they are failures
Tee French have two or three, and they
also complain that they have built. these
vessels so big that they can MT manage
them in navigation They hayS bestowed
so much attention to their armaments and
their armor that they have overlooked the
points about handling them easily. In the
United States there is popular demand for
very large war ships, say Of $500 tons. We
would do far better 70 build some ships OF
moderate sizs and draught which we could
at any rate sail, which could get out OF the
way or could make S. eed and also use their
ornaments
Said 1: Slow many ship-builders have
we at present in H. United States VINO
could build ship Of war;
sIhardly understand your question" said
Mr.. Cramp; If You mean how many men
are there who can design ship of war, |
would venture the opinion that there Is not
one in the United States. either in or out Of
the navy. Indeed there are hardly four in
the whole world. England has two. They
are men who have been brought up in
the navy, and have had to follow the story
Of ships and gunnery from their infancy, so
to speak. To come 10 your next question,
about tho number Of shipyards in America,
/ will say that there is one In Boston
which may DO able to build ship OF war,
and we have on toe Delaware river
some five or six At Wilmington there are
two: at Chester there are lwo or three, and
at Philadelphia there are perhaps two
There is no ship-yari in New York at the
present time which is able to build ship OF
war according to modern demands In Cal
ifornia there is one ship-yard, but Idouet
its applicability TO the bushes. 1t is mis-
take to suppose that tie mere mechanical
plant OF the ship-yard is enough. You want

arship which has followed the business Of

CHAPTER XIX

! It was fine day in February. The
little cottage, half hid III evergreens,
was pleasant sight to look at Mrs
Hazlitt sat ON her heels in the garden,
after setting ridge or two OF early
! potatoes, which Matt was trenching.
The little rustic gate opened, and on
looking round, Mrs. HaZlitt beheld the
queenly forra of Miss Evans gliding up
the gravel walk. She hurried to well
come the young lady, who, by the Way,
had been a rather frequent visitor to
'the dear old COTTAGE OF late. She used
to sit in the little parlor and talk for
hours about old times. Sometimes she
preferred to sit there and not talk at
all. The discontinuauce Of Captain
Dawson's visit to Moorview House and
his cold politeness when they CHANGED
to meet may have had something to do
with this. But even if Captain Daw-
son had been as devoted an admirer as
ever, we believe Miss Evans would
have thought of old times now and
then NOTWITHSTANDING
One day Miss Evans looked over the
privet hedge, and expressed great ad.
miration Of the young lambs in the
field outside Mrs. HaZlitt proposed to
walk in the field, and, with look of
innocent enthusiasm, the young lady
said:
'Oh, yes, by all means; it will be so
pleasant
The walk in the field became almost
a matter, Of course whenever Miss
Evans called at the cottage. And as
Mr.. Purcell was from home there was
no harm in extending the walk as far
as the house. On one occasion she ac-
cepted the housekeeper's invitation to
look at the quaint old furniture in the
parlor. The invitation was suggested
by the interest Miss Evans appeared to
take in high-backed mahogany chair
which happened to be outside the hall
door. She was charmed with every
thing in the house, and participated in
the housekeeper's regret that q particu-
lar little room was locked, as there was
mo show but all the books he had in
it. Miss Evans gave the housekeeper
half-a crown, and forgot one of her
gloves, which she had laid on the CHM
ney-pie:e while giving.a little twist to
one of her curls before the oval looking
glass.

that Josh Reddy's music possessed
such charm for her. OF course, you

when they drive. This is natural, be-
cause the fare is only seventy centes
simmi, or fourteen American cents, for
the course or trip of any length, although
each one expects a few cents las gift
and so the fare amounts to one Ira, or
twenty cents.
The Neapolitans seem to admire trap
pings on their horses at all times and
places. One would think at a funeral
the horses would be allowed to go I'M
fettered but no. They are enveloped from
head to tail with immense black covers,
decorated most deliberately with white
embroidery and fringe. These covers
leave only the feet and tail showing.
The eyes are seen through little hole.
The ears, head and body are enveloped
in this close-ftting pail. There are four
horses attached to the hearse, which is
large vehicle, also hung with black and
having immense black and white plumes
on top and at each corner. The coachman
and footman wear long black coats with
white trimmings. No other carriage or
person follows this strange and sombre
vehicle, but inside at each corner of the
coffin sits priest, four in all, each one
carrying large unlighted yellow candle.
AS the coffin is inside the glass body of
the hearse, the priests are there also.
One would think it a most uncomfortable
position, but they don't seem to mind it
in the least. There appears to be more of
an assemblage at the church, but the cere-
mony of the last sad rites over the de-
ceased seems to be left entirely in charge
of the clergy.

coachmen and cab-drivers of Naples are
most particular about their horses.
They spend all their money for harness
and trappings for their pets. You can
constantly see the men, when not en-
ployed, standing on the street rubbing
up the silver ornaments on their horses
harness. This harness is wonderful to
look at The Neapolitans drive entirely
without bits, and usually the saddle is
very high with great pyramids of silver
plated flags or statuettes standing in the
middle The bride and traces, as we'll as
the other portions of the harness, are
laden down with ornamentation. The
forelock of the horse is usually tied up
with gay ribbon and sticks up STRAIGHT
between the ears. The cabmen, however,
make their animals go like race horses
